This was close to the worst taco place I have been to, and I have traveled all over.
Could tell employees did not want to be there. I should have left but wanted to try something different.
Ordered Sancho (beef) and Enchilada (chicken) combo.
Had some rice, beans, and some chips on top.
I do camps with kids and know Sams stuff when I taste it. I do not expect Sams #10 can food when I come to a restaurant.
Ask for light ice, and she topped off my cup with ice.
Was starving but just could not finish. Just threw the rest in the dumpster.
This is probably one of the worst reviews I have ever written, but I just see no excuse to serve this kind of food.

I travel from Kentucky just to eat here. As I’m not a Alabama native and this place is the holy grail of cheap but amazing tex-mex cuisine! In my opinion this place deserves to be listed as a unesco world heritage site. It’s that amazing. Jokes aside. It’s worth the stop everytime. You won’t be disappointed!

Food was great. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the reviews. I normally do not care for crunch tacos however this place has very good crunchy shells. I also had a sancho and it was amazing.

Nostalgia filled the air for me as I was instantly transported back to Taco Tico on Colonial Drive in Orlando, 1970s. My son savored a tasty taco burger (a favorite of mine as a boy) while my daughters dined on classic tacos. My wife and I enjoyed flavor-filled shredded chicken on salads. Great food at very reasonable prices! A new family favorite in Tuscaloosa!

Legend has it that Taco Casa has been feeding Tuscaloosa people since 1974, a staple in the college community here.
If you know me, you know I love exploring new places to eat, especially if it’s tacos or BBQ. So off I went 3 hours to dine in and this place was packed like a Chic-fil-A!!
Keeping things simple, I chose the Combo #1 beef which included a hard shell taco, beef enchilada covered in queso, refried beans, rice and chips. Their sweet tea is a highly recommended drink and it didn’t disappoint. The combo, however, left a bit to be desired IMO.
3.8/5⭐️ Nothing I‘d drive 3 hours again for but if you’re ever in Tuscaloosa, AL it’s worth a stop.

Not the most professional nor knowledgeable staff – they’ve often answered incorrectly on how much meat actually comes with something and they have no idea how many calories are in ANY of the items by their own admission. They also just ignore you until your ticket number is called. Feels like a mcdonalds.
That said the food is very tasty, served quickly, and not too expensive. I love the burritos.

You let it go 2 times, but the 3rd time getting home with wrong order, not acceptable. Order and pay for chicken chimalupa, only to get home and have beef. I guess if you go here, unwrap all your food and make sure you get what you ordered. Food quality and preparation at this location is in the dump. Has been, but I thought I’d try again. I’ve gotten completely soggy hardshell tacos (no excuse, I live 5 minutes away), stale sopapias, chimalupa’s that look like they sat out all day, and wrong order multiple times. Of course drive thru, so you find out when you get home. My advice, skip this location. Make the drive to 69 south or Northport. It actually taste somewhat fresh at those locations. You know, like the radio commercial promises. Or skip taco casa all together.
